Hi all,
I've changed my mind on the bits to put in a new system, and am now gonna go for an x2 3800 and oc it (on air). Also gonna get an x1900xt-x with the zalman 900 cooler.
Would appreciate some advice tho on what mobo & 2gb ram & cpu cooler to go for. I've done tons of reading through these forums, and come to the following conclusions :
Mobo: Usually go for Asus, but the DFI boards look good.
RAM: Still very undecided here... usually get Corsair, but maybe OCZ or the GSkill HZ PC4000 set. I'd like to run 1:1 with decent timings if possible.
Cooler: Looking at either the zalman 9500 or possibly the Ninja... suggestions ??
The PC will be running 24x7, and on air in an Eclipse case with 2xAmber 120mm's. Ideally fast and quiet (hence the zalman 900 for the gfx
)
I was gonna get either the 4400 or 4800 (for the increased L2), but the opinions seem to be it doesn't make too big a difference. Got about £1300 to spend and need to get XP Pro OEM, and prob the Dell 2005 monitor (the belinea is also tempting tho).
All advice greatly appreciated
